LibriVox recording of The Meaning of the Glorious Koran, translated by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall.
The Koran (Qur’an) is regarded by Muslims as the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. It is divided into 114 chapters (surahs), arranged roughly by length. This version, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran, is a widely used English translation of the Koran by a Muslim Englishman. Many Muslims, however, including Pickthall, believe that true translations of the Koran from the original Arabic are impossible, and see translations into other languages only as useful interpretations. (Summary by Leon Mire)

Subject: Perfect audio performance by the reciter to top the near perfect translation of Pickthall

The voice, the flow, the tone matching with meaning is heart felt. My mother tongue is Arabic but this reading of the Holy Quran in English almost has
...
the same effect of Arabic reading or even better.
The translation itself is probably the best produced amongst the many translation of this Holy Book of God.
Thanks for the great work!
